Airbus is set to sign a new agreement with Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) for additional long-haul A330neo aircraft.
The announcement of the agreement is expected to be made during Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit to Paris this weekend.
MAG Managing Director Datuk Captain Izham Ismail said the group is currently considering the possibility of activating an alternative for the purchase of an additional 20 A330neo aircraft.
Izham also informed that the effort will be followed by a selection process among aircraft manufacturers for larger models such as the Boeing 787, Boeing 777X and Airbus A350.
He said this during an interview with the New Straits Times last month.
Previously, MAG had ordered 20 A33neo aircraft and prepared an alternative for an additional 20 units in 2022.
